North Texas
A week ago Friday eleven people from my church (FBC Waxahachie) joined other volunteers at the North Texas Food Bank to help prepare bags of nutritious food for children in the Food 4 Kids backpack program. Some businesses had allowed a few of their employees to serve that day, and they also worked in our line. The process involved grabbing a plastic bag, walking along tables filled with bins of small packaged food items chosen by a nutritionist, placing one item from each bin in the bag, and then leaving the bag at the end of the line for another volunteer to insert in a box. Then we returned to the first of the line, grabbed another bag, and began again. Walk, walk, walk. Smile, smile, smile. Peppy music was piped into the warehouse, and we were dancing along as we walked. Seven bags fill a box, and then the box is sealed and placed on a flat. Full Story »

If you are a BGCT-affiliated church in North Texas, your church has a special invitation to join with other faith-based groups/churches to participate in an event sponsored by the North Texas Food Bank called Full On Faith.
Full On Faith is one week (July 9-16) reserved just for volunteers who are associated with a faith-based organization to come to the North Texas Food Bank (4500 S Cockrell Hill Road, Dallas)and fill boxes with food for distribution in the North Texas area. Volunteers from your church can work beside other Baptists or people of other denominations and faiths to contribute to fighting hunger in North Texas.
If your church would like to participate, you will need to reserve your spot, as only a certain number of volunteers may serve per shift. There is a three-hour morning shift and a three-hour afternoon shift each day (except Sunday), but some shifts are already filled. Wouldn’t it be great if Texas Baptists were a large percentage of those who showed their concern for the hungry by participating in this event?
Find out more/sign up by going to http://www.ntfb.org/full-on-faith.cfm.
If this week just won’t work for your church, don’t give up. NTFB is always needing volunteers; just make sure you schedule with them so there will be a spot ready for you when you get there.
